Told, not Showed

2.5 story & overall
The story is ok, and the narrator helped a great deal. It's told from Megan's point of view almost entirely; it's really her story. Unfortunately, the last half of the story is only told about and not showed. We're told that Megan did this and did that without taking us along for the ride so that we could actually see it and experience it too. I get it; it's done to expedite time, months and get us to the resolution, the end. But it sucks as a book listener. The whole point of entering into another world and experiencing is lost almost entirely in the last half of the book; that's a lot in a story this short.
